A Teddy Bear has been sent up to space successfully in the past using string, helium, a parachute, a camera, silver foil and sticky back plastic, and Rainbow Trust is planning to replicate this on July 15th.

To get your school involved you simply have to raise £50 by May 27th and give Teddy a name, then submit this to Rainbow Trust. The winning school will have the opportunity to take part in the whole process, from learning the details about Teddy’s journey up to space, to a lucky 15 children attending the “launch” of the bear.
